Late Night Writers & Readers Forum after midnight

The joys of 2 am....  desperate late night infomercials, discarded Taco Bell wrappers, and a sugar buzz from orange flavored Mountain Dew.  The roads are abandoned like a ghost town.  The tapping of keys illuminated by a glowing screen confirms that we are, indeed, owners of the night.

I spent the past year responding to 911 calls on night shift, so I've seen alot of weirdness.  But I wouldn't have it any other way.  Glad to be here, and looking forward to meeting more night shifters.

its feb 28 2:34 am and i cant sleep lol.

It seems I get some of my best ideas at night. I’ll write like mad until I have finished and sometimes I have to drag myself away from the screen just so I can go to bed and get up on time in the morning. Lol. There is just something about night that we find appealing I guess. Weather it is the time of nightmares or dreams, it is a fountain of fiction.

I love the night, though it is hard for me to write at night becuase my mother doesn't like it. So often I have to go to bed early, though I can't sleep. I toss and turn and think of stories to write. This is when I create. Then I get up in the early morning. I hate this but it is the only time I can really write. I love 5 AM. It is the loneliest hour there is. The late nighters have finally fallen asleep at their desk and the early birds are not quite up yet. The entire world enters into a still. Every noise echoes on seemingly forever. This is probably the best time to write there is if you like dramatic works like I do.
